The Future of Christianity

""Professor Bellinzoni has written a thoughtful and challenging book which must be taken seriously by all those who take the continued influence of Christianity for granted. A part of this challenge is to acknowledge the discrediting of central elements of the gospel history. But the other challenge, just as important, is to identify those parts of that tradition which might be reformulated for a future in which the role of Christianity in ethics, society, and culture is greatly diminished."
